London, March 19th 2008 -- IKON Office Solutions, a leading provider of document technology and services, has today announced the opening of its first dedicated Professional Print Centre in the UK, at Paul Street, London.

The Professional Print Centre has been built specifically for IKON’s new Production and Graphic Arts operation and provides sales specialists with a unique facility to demonstrate high performance, digital colour printing solutions.
